My Summary
About Me
My Name is Claudine and I have decided to follow my passion after 10 years working in Administration.
I am a mum of 3 lovely boys and a Ofsted Registered Good Childminder in Gipsy Hill ,Upper Norwood Crystal Palace area.
The aim of my service is to incorporate the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) into my everyday activities, ensuring services provided are catered for all ages and needs . I will teach and help children to develop and grow, while building their confidence in a safe, warm and caring enviornment.
Being approachable by nature,I am able to bond and build a good rapport with children.I can relate to saying "No one child is the same " so during the settling in period ,I acknowledge when a child needs extra time to warm to their new environment .
My home away from home environment provides comfort, security, warmth and familiarity. Not only for children but also for parents.
I will be encouraging Healthy eating, trips to the local parks, Libraries, Play centres, soft play, farms, museum, sand and water play, story time, nursery rhymes, dancing, singing and role play.
I look forward to welcoming your child into my home.
Claudine Murray

Our time at Claudine’s was magical - it honestly feels like a little family and our daughter was so happy there, and made some lifelong friends... Even after we left we have kept in touch as the kids forged a special bond whilst in her care. She is warm and nurturing, supports the kids (and parents!) through every milestone… potty training, sleepless nights - the works.
I would not hesitate to recommend CC’s childcare to anyone that wants a fun, caring environment for their kid’s early years - with educational learning, excursions, creative play and supportive development all at the heart of what they do. Claudine and her team are the best at this, and can’t recommend them highly enough. Our daughter adored all the staff and children.

My son Aen was with Claudine for about two and a half years. Our experience of Claudine and her team was amazing. She went above and beyond our expectations of a childminder setting. The whole team care deeply about every individual child and gave them the attention and stimulation they needed. Aen went on numerous day trips which he loved. The team provided delicious homemade food everyday and encouraged age appropriate learning. We strongly recommend Claudine, we couldn’t have asked for a better childminder!

My daughter attended Claudine's setting for 6 months. Although she had a very difficult settling period she eventually settled and really enjoyed it. It's a small setting and very familiar. All the assistants were lovely and supportive.

My son has been attending CC’s Childcare Services since October 2023 and he absolutely loves it! Claudine and the rest of the team have helped him settle in so well and I can’t thank them enough.
Claudine always has all the children doing all sorts of activities and day outs around the local area. She always celebrates all the children’s birthdays, Christmas and any other celebrations!
I 100% recommend Claudine and her team for childminding services as you will never be disappointed!

Our son was with Claudine for one and a half years. We honestly couldn’t fault Claudine and her staff and couldn’t recommend them more.
It was very reassuring to know our son was in such good hands every day and you knew you’d pick him up and he’d have a big smile on his face.
Claudine goes above and beyond celebrating everyone’s birthdays, Christmas parties and sports day. They are always kept busy with trips to the park, rhyme and time and even a trip in to london!
The main reason we took so long to move out of London was because our son loved his time with Claudine and all the staff. Thank you.

Our daughter started at Claudine’s in August 2022, it can be quite daunting handing your child over but Claudine made the whole experience run smoothly by helping her settle in, offering additional support, and being communicative.
Our daughter loves going to Claudine’s and is always in a happy mood when we collect her, which is a testament to the work her and her team do! They always seem to have a blast celebrating birthdays, holidays, going out, and doing crafts.
We are so happy that we found such a great setting for our daughter.

Our son started at Claudine's when he was ten months old and stayed for nearly two years. He had an amazing time with Claudine and her lovely staff. His face lit up to see them all every morning at drop off, and Claudine got the kids out and about seeing the local area at least twice a week, which I was so impressed by. She puts a huge effort into birthdays and cultural celebrations and some of the art work he came home with is still on our walls at home today. Thank you Claudine for every you did -- we really appreciate it.

Our daughter started when she was 10 months old and she settled in well, bonded with the childminders and other children and enjoyed her time at Claudine's. She was excited to be dropped off every morning. We loved that it's set up as a small nursery, children enjoy various activities and events, celebrating birthdays and being taken outside for various outings like rhyme time at the library, park and soft play.
Claudine provides flexibility and offered additional days at short notice which was much appreciated and allowed for me to juggle work commitments more easily.

Our little boy has been going to Claudine for the last two years and since he was one. As a first time mum, finding the right place for our boy was stressful. Being someone always in favour of a nursery, my plans went up in the air once I was told that there was no place in our nursery of choice. And that was the best thing that happened to us as we found Claudine! What she and her staff offer at her setting is nothing short of excellent - from the loving support given to each child to develop social and motor skills, to activities and celebrations she organizes and delivers over and over again, to the lovely birthday parties every child gets to enjoy, Claudine goes above and beyond to make sure that the children get a well rounded experience and are prepared for the next stages of their development.
We could not recommend her enough!

We are so happy we found Claudine's Childcare Services.
Our daughter started when she was 18months and is now 3.
Claudine provides a warm environment, presented and run like a small nursery. The children have clear routines, take part in a range of activities and build lovely relationships with eachother and staff.
Our daughter's confidence has improved significantly since she started, she loves going and happily tells us about her day.
Claudine goes above and beyond; she makes the children feel special on their birthdays, puts on events on, takes them on trips.
We are moving away and are so sad to leave Claudine, we feel she has set up our daughter so well for moving to a nursery, and can only hope we can find a childminders like her for our new baby.
